“We are proud to support the DDC in bringing together key officials from within the UAS community to chart the path toward achieving UAS integration into the National Airspace System,” said Richard Annas, President of Riverside Research.

As an independent, not-for-profit organization and active member of the Ohio Airspace Strategic Integration Study (OASIS) and the Alliance for Human Effectiveness and Advancement (AHEAD), Riverside Research provides trusted, end-to-end solutions to the UAS community for both military and commercial operations.

“Our industry-leading capabilities in remote sensing phenomenology, data analysis, airborne sensors and ground systems engineering, mission planning, and education and training make us a unique ‘one-stop shop’ for all UAS operations,” said Annas. “From the exhibit hall to the breakout panels to the training sessions, our breadth of UAS expertise will be on display at the 2013 Ohio UAS Conference.”

Several experts will be on hand to demonstrate UAS course development and instruction, independent research and development efforts in precision agriculture, and mission planning tools such as the customizable Aircraft Mission Planner (iAMP) that integrates digital GIS data with platform and sensor characteristics to quickly plan, analyze, and re-plan collection missions for both manned and unmanned, fixed- or rotary-wing aircraft. Demonstrations will occur on demand and at scheduled times throughout the day at booth 7. Live updates will be posted on Twitter @RiversideRsch during the conference.

Join us for the Precision Agriculture Panel Session

Glen Salo, Manager of the company’s Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Lab, will lead the Precision Agriculture Panel on Tuesday, April 23.

Attend one of our UAS Training Sessions

The final day of the conference will highlight an important partnership between industry and academia as attendees will have the opportunity to earn continuing education units (0.5 CEUs) simply by attending one of four UAS short courses developed by Riverside Research for Sinclair’s Workforce Development division. Regularly 8-16 hours in length, 4-hour preview versions of these courses are included with conference registration at no additional charge and will run concurrently on Thursday, April 25; therefore, attendees must choose to attend one of the following:

UAS Airspace Applications
Instructor: Steve Yantko, Riverside Research, E&T Directorate

Current State of UAS Standards
Instructor: Shane Cuddson, Riverside Research, E&T Directorate

Precision Agriculture
Instructor: Randall Sandone, Riverside Research, CSE Lab

Geospatial Information for UAS
Instructor: Dr. James Lange, Riverside Research, E&T Directorate

More information about the training sessions will be posted prior to the conference.
